Good, that's the two main things I was worried about. Anyone using 5.5?

Yep, they were 17k and 20k I think, now they're 9k and 11k and they
don't look much different but it should load faster.

Some of the graphics are done with div background colour values and so
aren't really graphics, other stuff is images applied to css
background-image values and so should load last (eg after all the text
has appeared and the page is laid out correctly by the browser)? That's
the theory anyhow.

By the way, parts of it are a tounge in cheek micky take of 
http://www.autodesk.co.uk/adsk/section/0,,1075861-452932,00.html
a much more expensive programs website (in case you're wondering).

No it's missing a key that is on another page... that should be fixed
now too. (done)

Can you suggest a good open source link checker? If not I'll google,
it's no problem.

Spell checker I haven't but I should do, It's just that quanta
annoyingly picks up all the html tags in its spell checking. Anyone know
of a good html aware spell checker?

Cheers for the help Barrie (+Mick +Jilly for previous bug spotting)
